A ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

An old Mormon romance has been
revived by the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
The story is to the effect that about the year
1912 Joseph Smith became enamored OF
an English maiden, Of g wealthy family,
who had espoused the Mormon faith.
That was about the time Smith was said
to nave received a revelation s~anctioning
and recommending ~polygamy. The
prophet wished to take the girl % his spirit
ual wife. to which she consented on con-
dition that IL she bore a son he should in
the ~fullness of time become the head of
the Mormon church. The contract was
entered into and the son was born and
educated by the mother in England to fill
him for the high position for which he
was destined. He Is nov said TO be about
45 years Of age, and likely to appear as q
competitor for the vacant presidency.
There may be some groundwork for the
story, but even were the story true the
Euglishman would stand little chance of
becoming Taylors's successor. The head
Of the Mormon church is elected by the
chief elders and ia not ar hereditary Office.

The temperance wave has struck Baker
City with great force. Listen 70 what the
Baker City Democrat says: Hughes and
Ward have certainly struck Q tender spo,

hours ct feast rs names are added to the
temperance pledge rolls, and still they
come. Hughes and Ward have lectured
seven nights in this city, during which

have taken the pledge TO abstain from in

MACKAY VS.. GOULD.

Mr.. Mackay is evidently a little ruff
fed by the stories connecting himself
and Flood with the late disastrous wheat
deal. When he says they were not in
the deal, that ought to be satisfactory,
and with those who know him personally,
it will be. We don't believe Mackay
would tell a deliberate falsehood about
this or any other thing. Why should
he, in this particular case? Suppose he
was in the deal and lost money by it,
whose business is it! We guess he is
able to stand it. 1t is not likely that he
is broke and will be compelled to strike
his friends for q square meal. At any
rate we would take the chances on wor.
rying through life on what he has left of
his great fortune. But the newspaper
squibs seem to annoy him. He says the
New York Tribune has been deliberately
lying about him. We have no doubt of
it. The Tribune is largely owned by
Jay Gould, and Gould is, of course, in.
terested in injuring and breaking down
Mackay's credit in every way possible.
because Mackay is at the head Of an OPP
position telegraphic system. That is
what ails the Tribune. Gould has had
everything his own way SO long with his
Western Union Telegraph Company that
he seems to think no one else has . right
to string q wire anywhere in this coun-
try. Mackay is the first man that has
been able to give him any serious trouble.
The Mackay system is growing and ex.
tending it's lines in all directions. This
causes Gould to bleed inwardly, and
when it comes to methods to head off an
opponent he is supposed to be the finest
in the land. Hence the attitude Of the
Tribune in warning OF Mackay's financial
status. Mackay seems to understand
the situation perfectly and when, the
other day in an interview, he struck
back by accusing Whitelaw Reid and the
Tribune of downright lying he was prob
ably not far from the mark. In this war
of the telegraphs we are for Mackay or
anybody else that will give the people
more wires and cheaper rates. We have
no sympathy with the Pacific Coast pa.
pers which by inuendo. if not directly,
are attacking his ~solvency and otherwise
injuring his credit in the money markets
Of the world. We would rather
strengthen his hands to the end that he

Looking women.
Old Bud Jackson, n of the terrors OF
Montana, lost his fourth wife and came
over In Dakota for q fifth victim. He
met and married the widow Brsggs, q
frail, gentle-looking woman, who had just
been left q widow for the third time, and
seemed almost crushed to the earth by
| her loss.
Mr., and Mrs. Jackson wendell their
wsy to Buds Montana home, and as the
gushing bridegroom led his bride into
| his lonely cot Of one room and introduced
her to his fsvorite dogs, he said ten
derby:
lyon want to remember, Mrs. Jackson,

forget that. The four dear companions

The frail, sad-eyed little bride did not
move. Her pretty lips began to tremble
and her gentle bosom heaved.
"You comm !" roared Jackson. "Hev

She came. She snatched down the CAD
| on her way, and, with teeth set and eyes
that twinkled merrily, she landed within
two feet of Bud. He had faced wildcats
and hyenas, but never anything like this.
A cofict ensued; it was short. fierce and

ton, is the biggest card in the present
Administration. His policy in regard to
the public domain will be talked OF and
commended from every stump in Amer
lea during next years campaign. 1t is
true, that in getting at the land grab
bers, native and alien, he has been com.
PEELED to tie up the patents OF many

be made, but these in the end will not
be injured. only delayed, while the bene'
fits accruing to the people generally,
from his course, can hardly be computed
in figures. By reflex, President Cleve.
land and the whole Democratic party
are to be immeasurably aided by Com.
missioner Sparks fearless administration
of the Land Office. He stands like o
rock between the peoples lands and the
grabbers of all sorts and sizes. And the
masses must take notice that the Presi.
dent has never once attempted to "pull
him down." showing conclusively that
his policy has the full sympathy and in
dorsement of the Chief Executive OF the
Nation. With no other issue than
Sparks and his policy of wrestling the
millions of acres of unearned lands from
the powerful railroad corporations and
combinations, the Democratic party
should win next years race in q canter.
1t is to be one Of the chief topics OF dis
cussion by the press and campaign
orators all over the country in the ap-
preaching Presidential election, and we
shall miss our guess if the people do not
vote that Sparks and the President are
doing the right thing by the public
lands. Only q few days since the tele-
graph brought word that the necessary
orders had been issued, restoring to the
people 1900, 900 acres of land granted
to the Southern Pacific railroad, on con-
ditions which were never complied with,
and 1900, 900 acres from the Dalles
Military road of Oregon for similar rea-
IONS. This is the kind of news every
good citizen delights in reading. Nor
will it be forgotten that this is the kind
of work that has been going on ever
since the present Administration came
into power. Jealous care Of the peoples
lands for the benefit of actual settlers
homes for the homeless lis a doctrine
that must rebound to the credit of the
officers who have the courage and in
tegrity to grapple with the monster
~monopolies and enforce it. Commits.
sioner Sparks is the right man in the right
place. He has as much backbone as the
President, and that is equivalent to say.
ing that he is as straight and as strong
in that part Of his anatomy, as was
Andrew Jackson. We indorse Sparks
and his land policy all over and all the
way through.

The alarm of fire that was turned in at

There was very little damage done, and
the fire brigade did not get a ghost Of a
chance to show how well they could
fight the flames The hose reel was
pulled by the boys TO the scene Of action,
but the engine having no horses to pull
it was delayed until the boys got back.
